Fallout 4 update finally adds in highly demanded feature to the game

Now at first, this may sound pretty damn pointless. For most people, we always save before we exit the game. The use for this feature becomes immediately apparant when you consider Survival Mode however.

You see, before this update, Survival Mode players had to physically walk (no fast travel) to a location that had a bed in order to save. It was extremely inconvenient from a practical sense.

Now with update 1.6, Fallout 4 will create an auto-save upon exiting to the main menu. The save is then deleted once reloading it, in order to prevent people from abusing it in Survival Mode.

It makes it so you still can’t revert back to it if you die, meaning when you reload, you best be on your way to a bed in order to create a perma-save. The change comes as a perfect compromise.

ExitSave – Exiting to the Main Menu will create an ExitSave. During next play session, the ExitSave will delete itself after you load it. The Existsave works in all difficulty levels including Survival.
